Good to know about reservations
Reserved materials coming to Point library for pickup will be transferred to Mosaiikki library (Vantaankoskentie 69) beginning 20 April.
Customers can choose a new pickup location for their open reservations on the Helmet online library. Reservations can also be frozen for the duration of the move, in which case they will keep their place in the reservation queue. You must remember to unfreeze the reservations yourself.
Read the instructions for changing reservations. Library employees will help you change your reservations if needed.
Starting from 1 April, the due dates for loans of Point Library materials will be gradually extended. It is a good idea to check the due date on the loan receipt or from the Helmet online library. Starting from 15 April, all loans will have a long due date until 2 November. The long loan period will not apply to Espoo, Kauniainen or Helsinki materials.
You can return the materials you have borrowed at any Helmet library.
